Description

The Bestway® 800 gal Flowcear™ Sand Filter is a highly efficient and environmentally friendly way to keep clean water flowing through your above ground pool. It’s also far more cost effective than running a traditional filter pump system as the pump uses silica sand instead of a filter cartridge. Where a filter cartridge may need replaced every 2 weeks, silica sand only needs to be changed once every 3 years. The pump works by draining pool water through a hose and into the filtration system. Although water passes through the system with fantastic ease, the silica sand is so compact that it traps dirt and debris. Filtered water is then pumped down a separate hose and into the swimming pool inlet. Separating debris from sand, when the pressure gauge indicates that the corrosion proof tank is full, is a simple case of turning it to its backwash setting. Once it has been separated, a waste hose is attached and the rinse valve is turned, flushing filth and debris to a suitable deposit area. The Sand Filter is compatible with 300-4,200 gal pools. It makes an excellent upgrade to a traditional filter pump and is a fantastic way to enhance your above ground pool.

  • Works very well on my 8' x 30" Intex.
This is my second unit. The first one lasted quite a few years, sitting out in the sun and weather. And with me using it. LOL. Selector valve became a little leaky and hard to turn recently. But I did not always turn it off before switching gears. (I will with this one.) Plastic is just beginning to look sun-baked on the old one, connectors were loosing their 'smooth'. Needed o-rings, a new pressure gauge, a new safety plug, a few connectors, some new hoses. Just got it all, in a new unit. On my pool, the water is changed with this once an hour? Keeps it clear. I also configured a vacuum hose with an in-line filter bag, and this has just enough power to get stuff off the bottom. But it's not quite enough to run a floating surface skimmer properly. A plastic $45 dollar pool (pool only, mid-winter every 2-3 years when it needs replacing), and this $90 filter, which will last through a few pools. No cartridges to replace. Well worth the money for the enjoyment provided. Do it. A clear top or container so you can see the sand would be cool. (We got a demo unit one year, clear sand tank. Was awesome. You could see when the sand needed a flush, and watch it back-flush.) ... show more

  • Not what is pictured for 800gal but works for me
I bought this because the stock pump on my 14x32 summer waves pool was junk. The first summer we opened it, I did nothing but fight nasty water. We put it away for two years. Then I saw this pump at its low price for the 800gal model, so I bought it. No, it is not what is pictured. The 800gal does not have the large separate filter portion. It is one medium sized device with a small filter built into the model. It was disappointing but, I decided to give it a go anyway. It was fairly cheap, comparatively speaking. Hook up was a little confusing but, I put that on my excitement and tendency to see pictures backwards. The only water issue I had this year was mustard algae at set up. I believe this was from the year it was up and nasty and then put away. This pump and proper chemicals got rid of it quickly enough. Then it was smooth sailing all summer. One thing I did notice was, if you don’t “rinse” after you backwash, the handle gets really hard to turn and very difficult to get on the proper setting. So, after every backwash, do a proper rinse and save yourself a headache. It doesn’t have much suction for connecting a vacuum hose. It does work well enough but also, takes a while, and the little filter clogs up pretty quickly, so I have to clear it out a few times during vacuuming. All in all, it’s a good product for me and, would definitely purchase it again in a pinch. The only thing that would ever make me upgrade was if I got a bigger pool or, wanted a little more vacuum suction. ... show more

  • Good for the you pay for
I will have to update this after using the pump for some time. As of 2023/7 This pump was delivered on time. Once I opened the box and started looking at the instructions. I thought it would have come with everything. The most important thing is the Sand for the Sand filter. Nowhere in the description did it say it didn't come with Sand or whatever the net type of balls they show in the instruction. Now it's the beginning of the summer I want to get this filter up and running right away. I had to go to 3 different pool supply places to see if they had any. I was lucky enough to find it out of all places "Odd Lot". I put the filter together and it has been running perfectly for about 3 weeks. No leaks or problems. I just wish I could have a timer on the pump to start it up for a few hours every day so I can just get in when I feel like it. If you put any kind of Wifi Switch or Timer it kills the built-in GFI. That is nice to have but if IM already using a plug with a GFI on it I don't need a second. They should have made it so you can remove it. ... show more

  • Excellent product for keeping pool clean
Used this for an extreme pool cleanup on a ~2,000 gallon frog pond that includes a 9 year old Cumberland Slider turtle. Water was murky after 20 years of no filtration or clean-up. Slapped this little sand filter on the pond and after ~60 days, the water is crystal clear. Important notice, though: The pump on this sand filter pump WILL NOT LIFT WATER OUT OF A POND OR BODY OF WATER THAT IS BELOW IT. I installed a small submersible pump in the pond to the suction side of the sand filter to make the circulation/flow work properly. Turtle is seemingly happy about the water quality. ... show more

  • DO NOT BUY THIS!!!
Although it seems like a very good price for a sand filter, at this point I want to bang my head against the wall. Setup is not too bad and it work at first, for about a day. Then nothing! I checked everything there was to check. The intake valves, the filter basket, the filter itself, the air pressure, etc. Thre wasn’t any leaks, it was on a level surface. The bad thing is….This happened TWICE now. I am done! Same thing that happened above it’s the first one, now happened with my second one. Won’t suction, won’t filter, won’t backwash…nothing! There is literally nothing else for me to check on this. Do not waste your time on this filter pump. Not worth the hassle! Now I have to find a different pump and wasted all this time on this one. ... show more

  • Good for the price
Works great especially considering how cheap it was. The instructions are pitiful, all pictures trying to show you what to do and they aren't very clear. I am very upset that the large collar clamp broke on mine and I've searched for 2 days and can not find any online or at stores. They sell the small flange clamp but not the large one... I am going to have to buy an entire new pump 🙄 ... show more

  • Excellent pump/filter
I bought this for a Bestway 13 X 8 above ground pool with a capacity of about 1500 gallons. I did not want to purchase a filter pump, too much upkeep replacing filters which get clogged after a week or so. I talked with Bestway, they recommended their 1000 gph sand filter but I found this one on Amazon and went with it. Comes with all the hoses and fittings for a pool with one or two drain holes and one return hole. Manual was okay but there is an abundance of YouTube videos from Bestway and individuals showing everything from setup to operation (I just used one to backwash for the first time). The price is insanely low for what you get. Highly recommend. ... show more
